In deed the influence they derived from r" sitting as members of the House of Com-' ' mons, and from wielding the immer.::" patronage of the crown (constitution ! or usurped) gives them the power over mat body, that renders plausible atles:: the base flatterv, or as it is more proba ble, the intended sarcasms of Sir Walter Raleigh, in an address to James the 1st, that the demand of the sovreign upon -the Commons for pecuniary aid, was in tended only -that the tax might seem to come from themselves, whereas the in- ' ference is, it was really laid by the sov ereign himselC Having thus given you my. opinion of things which might be done, and others which might not be done, by a President coming into power by the support of - those of the people who are opposed to the principles upon which the present" administration is conducted, you will see that I have omitted one, which is deem ed by many of as much importance as a ny other. I allude to the appointment of members of Congress to othce by the .President. 1 ne Constitution contains no prohibition of such appointments, no doubt because its authors could not be lieve in-its necessityr from the purity-of character which was manifested by those ' who had the confidence of the1 people nt that period. It is, however, an . opinion very generally entertained by the opposition party, that the country would have escaped much of the evil under which it has suffered for some years past, if the, constitution had con- - Talned a provision ot that kind. - Hav irig had no opportunity of personal ob servation on the conduct of the adminis tration for the last ten years, I am una- cause of such removal should always be communicated to the person removed, and. if he request it, to the Senate, at the time the nominauon of a successor tie to decide upon the truth or error of is made. i , And last but not least in importance, VII. That he should not suffer the Executive Department of . the Govern, ment to become the source of Legisla tion, but leave the whole business of ma king the laws lor the Union to be done bv the department to which the Consti- . "... . l " r i .:i lUtton nas exclusively .ssigijcu it, uiuu they have assumed that perfect shape where and wnen alone the opinions oi the Executive may be heard. A com munity of power in the Executive De partments must necessarily lead to dan gerous commutations ana greauy io ura advantage of a President desirous of ex tending his power.: Such a constitution could never have been contemplated by those who framed it, as tney well knew that those who propose the bills will al ways take care of themselves, or the in terest of their constituents; and hence the this opinion. And I should lie very wil ling that tbe known subserviency of the Legislature to the Executive, in several memori ble instances, should be accoun ted for in a way somewhat less injurious to the character of our country and Re publicanism itself, than by the admission that the f athers of the land, . the trusted servants of a virtuous people, could be seduced from the path of duty and hoo-. or, by the paltry , trappings and emolu ments of depending othces. Hut if the evil really exists, and if there be good reason to believe that its source is to bo found in the corruptiUlity of the ' mem bers ol the Legislature, an effectual rem edy cannot be too soon applied. - Ana it nappens in tins case mat there is a choice of remjdics. i One of those; however, is in my opinion free from the objections which might be offered to the other, me one to which 1 omcct is, provifloa in tbs cosstitutica borrotodvhtt which the Uto Prestdertt has teen
